Boks is one of my most suc­cess­ful apps and this is prob­a­bly not only because of its use­ful­ness, but also because it is free, too. I released it more than 2 years ago and it is still heav­ily downloaded.

The CSS com­mu­nity is really active and fast-moving. When I wrote Boks, Blue­print CSS was one of the most watched and forked project on GitHub which is mostly why I chose to base my UI and logic on it (it still is at the top, by the way). But with today’s CSS3 hype and because of the ever-growing list of CSS frame­works (not going to list them here) I started receiv­ing lots of fea­ture requests.

At first I thought I could wait and han­dle them later, but I quickly real­ized it would need a lot of time, and I defin­i­tively didn’t have it in my hands (or at least not for this project). The idea to Open­Source it seemed obvi­ous and I’ve been slow doing so, but here it is. If anyone’s will­ing to take a look at what I wrote and fix or improve it, do it! Don’t for­get that this has been writ­ten a while back and I wouldn’t re-write it this way (think Robot­legs); I know the code will look crappy to some but hey, we all learn and evolve, right?

I’ve licensed Boks’ source under GNU GPL v3 in order for it to remain Open­Source, but if you have other sug­ges­tions, just tell me.
